Are needed every day to cover gazas essential needs. Israel sealed its borders with gaza, imposing a total blockade on the strip 12 days ago following the hamas attack on israel in which 1,400 people were killed. The Rafah Crossing between egypt and gaza is now the only way to get vital supplies in. A warning this report from wyre davies contains images you may find distressing. Two weeks after the start of this war, the first signs of limited progress and relief entering gaza on the back of a truck. Aid agencies bringing in basic supplies, food, water, and medicine. There have been an unprecedented number of israeli strikes against hamas related infrastructure, but palestinian Authorities Say 4000 people have been killed in gaza, many of them children. A small but significant breakthrough as us israeli mother and daughter were freed from hamas captivity in gaza, though 200 hostages remain. At an emergency summit in cairo, the Foreign Secretary criticised four murderous actions, and reminded israel at an emergency summit in cairo, the Foreign Secretary criticised hamas� murderous actions, and reminded israel of its obligations. I have spoken directly to the Israeli Government about their duty to respect international law, and the importance of preserving civilian lives in gaza. Despite his relatively small diplomatic breakthroughs, most analysts say they will not change the inevitable course of events. Israel, they say, is facing an existential crisis, and that must remain the countrys number one priority. I think that theres quite determined decision that we cannot, cannot stop, will not agree to any ceasefire, and in order to achieve the goal, which is a quite ambitious goal, to dismantle hamas from all its military capabilities, we will have to start a Ground Operation sooner or later, and we are not going to stop before such a goal is achieved. There is a reason that israelis, old and young, are so adamant about this. Two weeks ago, this woman was a peace loving 20 something having the time of her life at a festival in the israeli desert. It is innocence shell never recover. As squads of hamas gunmen stormed the festival, shooting indiscriminately, she fled for her life, finding cover under some desert scrub. She would hide motionless there for eight hours. I did not know they were going to take hostages. Every time i hear or see the interaction, they shoot, and they shooot for killing. October the 7th will go down as the most fateful day in modern israeli history, as hamas gunmen mercilessly murdered at least 11100 people of all ages in towns and communities across israel. Today was the first time she has ventured out in two weeks, the nerves in her leg damaged by her ordeal. From someone who believed in coexistence, she is now a frightened sceptic to the peace between israelis and palestinians. Wyre davies, bbc news, tel aviv. In the past couple of hours, the Israeli Military has hinted that it is preparing to step up its strikes on gaza to put further pressure on hamas militants there. Army spokesman rear admiral Daniel Hagari told reporters the increase is also intended to minimize the danger to Israeli Forces when they enter the next phase of the war. Translation it will minimise the risk to ourforces translation it will minimise the risk to our forces in the next stage of the risk to our forces in the next stage of the war risk to our forces in the next stage of the war and risk to our forces in the next stage of the war and we risk to our forces in the next stage of the war and we are risk to our forces in the next stage of the war and we are uoin risk to our forces in the next stage of the war and we are uoin to of the war and we are going to increase the attacks from today. We will increase the attacks and therefore are gaza City Residents to continue moving south for their safety. I call on gaza City Residents. Earlier we spoke to our correspondent paul adams in jerusalem. To our correspondent he says theres hope more aid will be allowed into gaza now that 20 trucks have been allowed in. Interesting. We have not heard anything today to suggest this earlier we spoke to our correspondent is going to continue yet. Israeli officials did say earlier on today they still no reason why it should not but at the moment i hear nothing no concrete plans for aid to continue tomorrow. We may wake up tomorrow and find the 150 or so tracks lined up we may wake up tomorrow and find the 150 or so trucks lined up outside the Rafah Crossing are starting to move and that will be extremely welcome if they do. As you have just heard about this 20 trucks makes practically no difference at all to the absolutely dire and increasingly dire situation that exists in the gaza strip at the moment. Aid Officials Say we need 200, 300 trucks a day, particularly if they have to carry water, a very bulky thing to transport. There is a hope but not as far as i am aware a concrete plan yet for this to continue. Also today, this so called Peace Summit In Cairo with various representatives from Middle Eastern countries, no one from israel, iran or the us either. What were the results from that . It would be pretty remarkable if israel, iran and the United States had gathered at the same place at the same time. It was a hastily organised summit by the egyptian leader, Abdel Fattah El sisi. It had various notable absences. The americans were only represented by their charge daffaires in cairo. Tells you The Americans didnt think it was probably worth attending. It was an opportunity for arab leaders to voice some of their very grave concerns about the way this crisis is going. The egyptian president is extremely anxious and has been saying so for days about the possibility palestinians might be forced out of the gaza strip and into the sinai peninsula, something he says will be extremely dangerous. Others like the king ofjordan has spoken about the fact that what we are witnessing at the moment in gaza, what has been going on the last couple of weeks is an inevitable result of International Community taking its eyes off the Peace Process for decades and letting the situation drift. It was an opportunity for getting things off their chest. No agenda, no final declaration, no plan. In some ways, it didnt really serve much of a purpose. Let us show you the scene live at washington where people are out on the streets calling for a ceasefire. We received a statement from President Biden in the last hour about eight to gaza. He said the United States is committed to allowing residents access to food and water. We will keep an eye on those live pictures of those protesters out on the streets when we talk to our North America correspondent who is in washington following developments. Live now to shingai nyoka, our North America correspondent. What do you make of this statement . Yes, in that statement he attributed the opening of the Border Crossing to the result of days of high level negotiations and also expressed his appreciation to the egyptian president as well as to Prime Minister netanyahu. An earlier statement by this State Department and Antony Blinken had also attributed the success in opening this Border Crossing to days of exhaustive american diplomatic engagement in the region as well as the visit by President Biden so the us is really looking at this as a success as a result of its recent visit. ~. ,. ,. ,. , visit. We are looking at pictures of eole visit. We are looking at pictures of peeple out visit. We are looking at pictures of peeple out on visit. We are looking at pictures of people out on the visit. We are looking at pictures of people out on the streets visit. We are looking at pictures of people out on the streets in people out on the streets in washington. What has the reaction been across the United States to President Biden� s vocal supporter of israel and continued efforts to get ade into gaza . Israel and continued efforts to get ade into gaza . ~. , ade into gaza . What we have seen in the last week ade into gaza . What we have seen in the last week or ade into gaza . What we have seen in the last week or so, ade into gaza . What we have seen in the last week or so, just ade into gaza . What we have seen in the last week or so, just growing the last week or so, just growing numbers of people expressing concern about the fate of palestinians so these are not necessarily pro hummus protest demonstrations. Many of the people i spoke to a couple of days ago condemned the hamas attacks. And condemned the attacks on both sides and especially the groups that support palestine are saying the us is not focused on earning as much on the palestinian situation as it is known israel but what we have seen from President Biden is increasing emphasis on his concerns for what is happening in gaza and trying to ensure that the humanitarian assistance that is needed gets to where it is going. I think generally, the us is in support of israel and the majority of people want to see israel defend itself but what we are seeing increasingly are pockets of resistance, calling for a De Escalation and as a ceasefire. Yesterday We Saw Pictures Of The Two American Women Being released by hamas after negotiations. 0ther hamas after negotiations. Other americans are still being held by their organisation described as a terrorist organisation, any word on those other people . Ho. Terrorist organisation, any word on those other people . Those other people . No. What we heard from those other people . No. What we heard from antony those other people . No. What we heard from Antony Blinken those other people . No. What we i heard from Antony Blinken yesterday was that they are aware that there are hostages being held, as well as about ten american citizens unaccounted for. They would not go into details about negotiations that may be happening. They would not attribute the qatari government which has been instrumental we understand in getting the release of these two hostages but the us has a lot of work ahead and in the Statement Today President Biden alluded to the fact they are trying to get us citizens in gaza across the border so those discussions are still under way. Many of these american citizens have been at the Rafah Crossing for days, unaware and unable really to move from places of danger to places of safety. Danger to places of safety. Thank ou ve danger to places of safety. Thank you very much the metropolitan police say up to 100,000 people took part in a pro palestinian protest earlier in central london. 0ne arrest was made in relation to an incident last week. The co organisers, the palestine solidarity campaign, were calling for an immediate ceasefire in gaza and for full humanitarian aid to be sent in. In the last 2a hours, similar protests have been held Around The World in places like thailand, australia, the netherlands, south africa, and several arab countries.

And taking it well. That experience shaped his life. It is unbelievable really that Something Like that should happen, all your pals get killed, and you are there with hardly a scratch on you. Sometimes, it doesnt seem right. United rebuilt their team, with charlton the foundation, the inspiration. Charlton headed it home and in 1968, his goals against benfica took united to the top, the european cup. How they cheered as Bobby Charlton led his men up to receive the handsome, outsized trophy.
